what will be the total of Sophia’s loan with upgrades including sale tax show your work.
The total car price including upgrades is $21,345 + $2,500 = $23,845.
To find 7% of the total, we can use the proportion:
7/100 = x/23845
Cross-multiplying, we get:
100x = 7 * 23845
100x = 166,915
x = 166,915/100
x ≈ $1,669.15
Therefore, the Georgia sales tax on the car will be approximately $1,669.15.
To find the total loan with upgrades including sales tax, we add the total car price and the sales tax:
Total loan = Car price + Sales tax
Total loan = $23,845 + $1,669.15
Total loan ≈ $25,514.15
Therefore, the total loan with upgrades including sales tax will be approximately $25,514.
